OK, this is the video from the day before the last one, which to be honest I’m only adding to see the layout of the site. The thing I’m thinking about here is how the defoliation carried out the day before may have been a micro stress that tipped them into showing the budlets overnight. The other two grows on the exact same timing didn’t show budlets until 2 days later. They’re under similar conditions but not quite. Less light for sure.
I mean they were in the window for sure I guess – I’m not suggesting that you can influence the rate of growth that much by doing it, but perhaps if you absolutely in a day shaving hurry, I’m not sure you should be, but like if there was some threat to life issue (I can’t imagine what one would be!) then maybe leaving a decent defoliation until say 7 days after flip might help?

HEya,
Typically we’ve done two, one at about 3 weeks which is generally a week before flip, and the second at week 4 of flower – which will be tomorrow. Then some random, well not random, but some plucking at various points, the odd leaves here and there. Me and & Co have been away for 30 hours or so, I went to Malasai for less than 5 minutes and drove 1500km (annoyingly only 940 miles, didn’t get a grand up) anyway, just looked, reckon stretch is nearly finished now, they’ll get that second pass midweek, it took her about 90 minutes to do all 16 last time out, probably an hour this time. I’ll take some photos later, but we’re not even close to the level of training you or just about anyone else puts in, we do a little bit with the trellis layers (second is on now) just to pull colas through so they get more support, three’s too many plants and too high density of them in there to make anything other than cola decisions.
